Discussion took place on the condition of some medians, the Lantana appears
to look uncontrolled as it gets older and the yellow flowers in island going
into Countryside
Dale Lewis suggested using Dianella(white) plant located at Livingston and
Golden Gate.
Scott Windham the Dianella grows too high. He stated Lantana is currently
planted on both medians. He noted the plant is drought tolerant. He will
check the site line, if the site line is clear he will experiment with Dianella.

mulching.
VII. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT REPORT
A. Devonshire Refurbishment
Scott Windham reported the project is 100% complete. Hannula has
submitted a new maintenance scope for Devonshire to reflect new landscape
conditions. WSI and Staff are reviewing for final specifications to be put out
to bid.
Staff received an unofficial quote from RWA Surveying for the Rich King
Pathway Project for under$3,000.
The Advisory Committee only approved up to $2,500.
Dale Lewis questioned if once survey is completed would the Advisory
Committee be able to go forward with project.

survey is required to formally modify the Ordinance. He explained the
Committee is doing landscaping within an FPL easement and also a Rich King
Greenway easement for the Parks and Recreation(PAR)to maintain.

this project. The property is off ROW and not maintained by Road and
